Trying to figure out what is best way to set my set top boxes. The boxes are all digital devices from Cable One.
One of my tv's is 1080p another is 720p. They both are connected with HDMI cable.
Some of the channels I watch are HD channels others are not.
I have tried to do some reading about this, but it has left me confused.
The boxes offer 4 settings
1080p
1080i
720p
SD
Since all my tv's are HD, I can eliminate the SD.
On my 1080p set, I think my choices would be 1080p or 1080i. From some of what I have read it appears It is best to choose 1080i and let the tv switch. But I am not sure.
On the 720p set, I am not sure which to select. . Some things I read say to let the tv do the conversion and set it to 1080i, but I am not sure about that.
SO what is the best for the 1080p set and what is best for the 720P set. Since on both sets I watch both HD channels and regular channels.
Thanks
